"We have to look at the underlying reasons for the bankruptcy, what things were predicated upon, what assurances were made to the public. Bottom line is we're fighting to make sure Pennsylvanians get their money back."

He couldn't give a specific time line on where his investigation stands.

However, he says he's working as quickly as he can to help brides in Pennsylvania.

"We're going to do everything we can to try to help you get your money back so you can go buy a beautiful dress and have a wonderful day for your wedding. Anything we can do on that front we're trying to do right now."

Some people who bought dresses from Alfred Angelo have are getting letters in the mail this week.

FOX43 has a copy of one of those letters and it's from the bankruptcy trustee for the company.

It's hard to see, but it states there is a meeting of creditors which are people who are owed money from Alfred Angelo,

That meeting is on August 28th at one in the afternoon in West Palm Beach, Florida.

If you can't make that meeting, the deadline to file a proof of claim against Alfred Angelo is November 27th.

This isn't the first time a bridal shop has closed in the commonwealth, leaving brides with no dress.

Kaufman's wedding world shut down back in 2004.

That was a bridal company based in Pennsylvania.

At the time, Kaufman's wedding world was around for more than 100 years.

The company did end up filing for bankruptcy.

Eventually, a judge did require the store to reopen for 4 days to allow some brides to go back in the get their wedding dresses that were still in the stores.

All of this can be a mess and a headache for people who shell out a lot of money and end up with nothing in return.

Here are some ways to avoid that.

Pay for big items like a wedding dress or even furniture with a credit card.

If a company unexpectedly closes, your credit card company will likely still give you the money back and fight the company itself.

Also, if you do find yourself in this situation you're probably not the only one.
